If you don’t have a date for Valentine’s Day, never fear! We’ve compiled a few Galentine’s Day activites that are perfect for you and your closest friends.
1. Go to the movies
How can you go wrong with a dinner and movie date? Dine in or out and then head to the theatres to watch The Space Between Us, Rings, or Fifty Shades Darker.
2. Baking
Who doesn’t love celebrating holidays with sweet treats? Look up some yummy recipes and treat yourself to brownies, chocolate chip cookies, and ice cream to get your sugar fix.
3. Go to dog or cat cafe
What better way to spend your day than with animals? Check out the Crumbs & Whiskers Cafe on Melrose to hang out with some cats or The Dog Cafe in Westlake to play with puppies. Crumbs & Whiskers hosts different events like Cat Yoga and they are even having their own Galentine’s Day Party. Reservations are highly recommended at both establishments so reserve your spot today!
4. Go for a hike
Depending on the scenery you’re aiming for, there are a lot of different options for a hike in L.A. Head up to Runyon Canyon to get an incredible view of L.A. and the Hollywood Hills or Franklin Canyon Park for some incredibly beautiful wildlife trails. If you’re craving an incredible view of the Pacific Ocean, head up to Solstice Canyon in Malibu.
5. Go to the beach
There’s probably nothing more beautiful than a sunset on the beach and L.A. has a lot of different options for you to choose from. From Venice to Santa Monica to El Matador State Beach (our recommendation), the picturesque possibilities are endless.
6. Go to the zoo
Who doesn’t love animals? Spend the afternoon checking out your favorite animals and then finish off the night by stopping by Griffith Observatory or just driving through the hills.
